been working graveyard shift for past 10 years. it's a bitch. bouts of insomnia come and go and I've never found a good cure for it. I've tried natural and rx medication nothing works just ride it out until sleep returns. Ambien is a god aweful drug. Haven't slept in days worst case I've ever had. Any suggestions?

Get your bedroom as dark as possible...I mean film developing dark.
Get your bedroom cold...
In the bathroom, have a lamp for your sleep periods that is red or deep yellow...A lamp that is meant as an old fashioned darkroom printing safelighte is the best...something with absolutely no blue in it.

Cut all caffeine / stimulants

Tough for a few weeks.. then much much better for stuff like this.

Stop looking at (blue light) screens of your smartphone, laptop etc at least two hours before you want to sleep. Such screens mess up your melatonine production / release

Read a magazine with medium normal living room light, you need to be both physically and mentally calm in order to be able to sleep

In severe clinical cases, melatonin, from a a reliable source, is the way to go.

There is NO Cure! get another job, or continue to have insomnia and all the detrimental health benefits...

I had insomnia when I was a teenager. But I also had some serious depression. No depression = no insonmia.

Nowadays I sleep like a baby. Usually 6-7 hours and I'm fine. If I ever drink too much coke or have a cup of coffe at night, I'll be up until 3 am. Nevertheless, 2 sessions of masturbation will knock me out.

I take hot showers before bed and keep my bedroom cool. Something about the rapid change of body temperature from hot to cold makes people fall asleep.

It works and there is science behind it but I just don't know where to find it. I get insomnia all the time and this works like a charm.

Engage in an athletic wack session and hit a peak intensity when you’ve locked and loaded your batter.

Howl with delight and spike your crotch into the air upon release.

Roll over and get some shuteye.

What's your work load like? Mine is brutal and I suffer from insomnia as well. I'll get up to take a piss and can't shut down my brain. Sometimes if it's around 4am I'll just go to the gym. It makes the fucking day brutally long though. It's just like the song by Greenday or how Edward Norton explains it in Fight Club.

Listen to Joe Rogans podcast with sleep scientist Mathew Walker, it's very informative, one thing he talks about are sleep aids and how they are actually worse for you, you never get in full REM sleep, you are putting your self to sleep artificially. Your body needs to be able to sleep naturally, no weed, cbd, melatonin, Ambien. Rogan was blown away seeing he uses marijuana for sleep for over 20 years.
